I echo what Mike has stated and see if you can get someone to take you under his wing as a mentor and guide you and give you proper direction and advise.
Hi Huda - Welcome to Planning Planet
Get to know the construction process. Get a job on a construction site as a junior planner and spend as much time as you can walking around - looking and learning. Ask questions all the time. Think about the economics of construction. Every hard hat has a price tag - imagine it has a little flag that reads $20 per hour. The hook on the tower crane has $1500 per hour. work out for yourself where money is being poured away. Never loose your enthusiasm and curiosity and most important enjoy what you do.
Good luck with your future career.
